Gokulam
– Bhaktivedanta Children’s Home is a refuge for needy
children. We give them everything they need to succeed as good citizens
of the world – food, shelter, medical care, a full education
and the loving embrace of caring mothers.

Our children are victims of the civil war, poverty and the tsunami of
2004. However, at Gokulam, these traumatized children find solace
in the awareness that they have a new and genuinely caring family.

There
are eight caretakers, eight teachers, and two cooks employed at
Gokulam. The staff provides all the care and attention each child
needs, thus becoming their new family. According to Nandarani Devi,
the founder of the Home, “Whatever the children have lost
before, they can find it here.”

Gokulam
is affiliated with Food for Life Global, which is constantly engaged
in humanitarian work around the world and is based in Washington,
D.C.
